We want debian-installer to see "ethX" device names and not the
other names that we have disabled via kali-defaults anyway. That
discrepancy even breaks networking for minimal installations
where /etc/network/interfaces gets the wrong name.
This ensures that they can be installed by finish-install.d/08hw-detect
when virtualization is detected. Otherwise the lack of network breaks
this step.
We move the default preseed to the kali profile so that the default
preseed can actually again enable simple-cdd-profiles that we need
because we want the other profiles to have their preseed and postinst
working (and they work through the script run when simple-cdd-profiles
is installed).
We add an offline profile that disables the network mirror (but not
the networking!) and we add a "postinst" script that is run in the
finish-install step to actually configure /etc/apt/sources.list that
is empty due to the preseed.
Debian defaults to linux-image-686 for i386 on all levels (simple-cdd,
debian-cd, debian-installer). Kali modified debian-installer to use
linux-image-686-pae in debian-installer (for the benefit of the live
image mainly!). We have to adjust simple-cdd (by way of the
kernel_packages configuration item) and debian-cd (with some live
patching of a copy).
